Due to growing concerns about the avian flu, Fed-OSHA has recently issued new guidance to American employers about how to reduce the impact of a pandemic flu in the workplace. While hospital workers, business travelers, and airport employees are usually the first to be impacted by a pandemic flu, every workplace needs to prepare for a potential global outbreak. In the event of a pandemic flu, businesses will play a key role in protecting employees' health and safety as well as limiting the negative impact to the economy and society. Planning for a pandemic flu is critical because it would likely affect businesses in a number of ways. Workers may miss significant time at work, precautions may cause disruptions, and business income could be significantly impacted. Personnel Concepts' new Pandemic Flu Preparedness Poster communicates the guidelines released by OSHA, as well as recommendations from the World Health Organization, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
